Range of Delma molleri in Australia.

Delma molleri (commonly known as Gulfs Delma, and also known as the Olive Legless Lizard and Patternless Delma) is a small, the snout-vent length of the largest specimen measured 111 mm (4.4 in), limbless lizard found in southern South Australia around the Adelaide Hills,^[1][2] and pretty common in Adelaide suburbs.^[3] Delma molleri has been recorded from a variety of habitats ranging from grassland to woodland beneath rocks, timber and rubbish.^{[4][5][6][2][7][8]}

The nucleotide (DNA/RNA) and protein sequences of Delma molleri have been sourced through the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) and Universal Protein Resource (UniProt) databases. The identification of the species Delma molleri as an Australian dwelling organism has been achieved by accessing the Australian Plant Census (APC) and the Australian Faunal Directory (AFD) through the Atlas of Living Australia.^[9]
